Dear
Mattingley families and friends,
In the first week of
our winter holiday program, the children have had fun exploring their
interests and being creative in the
classroom.
As winter is now approaching, the children have been talking
about the weather and how it has been very cold and raining. This week we
decided to do a science experiment. We filled two jars up with water three
quarters of the way to the top and placed shaving cream on top of the water.
The children used their fine motor skills to pick up some blue, diluted food
colouring using the pipettes. They then squeezed the blue water out of the
pipettes onto the top of the shaving cream. The children were so fascinated as
they watched the food colouring fall and create different patterns into
the water.
Jaiyen - Blue water
Kaeshav - It rains so heavily
Hudson - It rains in New York
Mack - The rain is coming
Alannah
Clementine - It's going down
Zak - I can see rain
The children have also
enjoyed painting pictures using the art easels, being creative at the
art table, building with the large wooden blocks in the town square, dressing
up in costumes role playing, climbing on the outdoor equipment and building
with the coloured magnets.
We look forward to
seeing you next week, enjoy your weekend.
Liana and Kendall
